He wrote: "As it appears this is going to continue for the foreseeable, I really ought to offer up some sort of breadcrumbs trail as to what's going on — as you know I am queasy about introducing vulgar real life on to the vaudeville stage so let's keep this crisp. Yes, radiotherapy; can you beat it? Despite the diagnosis, Baker remained upbeat. He said: "Once the quacks have soundly thrashed this thing I shall return like a rare gas and as if out of a trap.
He urged his listeners to "keep yakking up a storm and laugh extra loud" at the guest presenters for his shows. Baker added: "Thank you all for the best wishes and concern from those who suspected as much about my condition'. He has repaid the debt by re-mortgaging his house in Deptford, South-East London. He invented phone-in football shows on 5 Live and had a spell as a Radio 1 DJ. The Londoner continues to host a Saturday show on 5 Live.

It's probably part of a step programme that says don't get in touch with old friends. The longer we talk, the more adenoidal Baker's voice becomes.
It's sinuses, he says — they've always caused his family problems. He choked one night. It's the curse of the Bakers. Over the past two decades, radio has become his medium — unlike TV, it is instant, and doesn't require an army of producers. Again there have been walk-outs and sackings. His friend and fellow broadcaster Danny Kelly has described him as "truculent".
Would he agree? My show only needs me, and people get threatened if they feel you don't need researchers, etcetera. You're supposed to be part of the machinery I've never been a very good team player. Is his reputation for walking out in a strop justified? Oh yes, he says proudly. He's been fired loads of times as well, he says, but there's always something else to turn to. And the terrible confidence that gives you, probably justified confidence, doesn't make you frightened of any boss.
It's amazing how he can keep talking, I say. That's not much. I'm ahead of where I should be. Did he think he would die? He thinks about it. But you don't think, Oh God, what's going to happen to me. I'm just not like that. You worry about how it's going to impact on everyone around you and how bad it's going to get, but you don't think about it as a final act.
Did he think his DJing days were over? I just thought, 'How long will it take to whack this out of us? I said, 'How about March? And they said, 'Maybe May. What did Wendy think? And I said, 'Look, I'm only sitting around and talking. In a way, he says, it's the perfect job to come back to. The astonishing thing is, he has been talking again for only a couple of months. His voice is slightly lower now, and he sounded a bit shaky on his initial return.
Does his throat hurt? It's healed tremendously well. Feel my neck. It melts. You get up and think, I'm all wet. And it's not blood, and you think, Oh God…" What would it have felt like before? You radiate your head and everything goes — your taste buds, saliva glands, everything is cleared out. Anyway, he says, enough with all the miserable stuff.
Now it's time to get on with living, dreaming up more crackpot themes for his phone-in shows and having fun. And when you get cancer for eight months, it's a drag, but all you want to do is get back to the goofy wonderland in which you rattle around.
As he would say 'well there it is', now let's knock it out of the park. Radio 5 Live controller Adrian Van-Klaveren said today that Baker would try to present his show on occasion over the next few months. A BBC London spokesman said: "Now Danny has made his condition public, we have been inundated with messages of support.
His agent, Alex Armitage, said that everything Baker wanted to say about his illness had been included in his statement on networking site Facebook. Baker came to prominence as a writer for the music paper New Musical Express in the s after cutting his teeth on the celebrated punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue. He was recruited to replace Dave Lee Travis on Radio 1 in and has fronted a number of shows for 5 Live - including , Sportscall and Morning Edition.
He was sacked from 5 Live after an on-air outburst about a referee in but has since returned.
